Comment (by jarshwah):

 The query that would work in the above situation (aggregate, filter,
 update) would be roughly:

 {{{
 update category
 set used=true
 where id in (
     select X.id
     from (select id, COUNT(tiles_id) tile_count from category group by id)
 X
     where X.tile_count >= 0
 )

 -- OR preferably?

 update category
 set used=true
 where id in (
     select id tile_count from category group by id
     having COUNT(tiles_id) > 0
 )

 }}}

 Which I think can be generated with roughly the following ORM code (not
 tested):

 {{{
 inner =
 
Category.objects.all().annotate(tiles_count=Count("tiles")).filter(tiles_count__gt=0)
 # maybe inner = inner.values('pk') ?
 Category.objects.filter(pk__in=inner).update(used=True)
 }}}

 It might be possible to get SQLUpdateCompiler to detect annotations, and
 then create a new queryset, passing the existing queryset as an argument
 to `pk__in=previous`. Or teach it to drop anything from the subquerys
 `annotations_select` but ensure it stills GROUPs and HAVINGs.
